I visited a college yesterday and researched the requirements to get into the school. The deadline for spring admissions is mid-November. I am very excited about the thought of returning to college. It shows progress towards recovery. Although the school provides associate degrees, and I aim to get a bachelors degree, it is a start in the right direction. Once I start school in January I hope in graduate from the institution in 2010 or sooner. When I return to school I will study Business Administration.

 

Recovery to me is living life the way I used to prior to the onset of schizophrenia. Before schizophrenia interrupted my life I was working, performing extracurricular activities, and going to school. Going back to school, for me, is living a normal life again.
